tells
me that there's a shortage
of cars.
i'm sitting in his windowed
showroom,
surrounded
by cars.
i look out the clear
sheets of plated glass
and that's all i see.
cars.
and black is a tough color
to find
right now, he says.
but it's the only color
i see,
except for grey and white
and an occasional red, or blue.
today is the last day, he says
for financing
at this rate.
covid and the war.
the price
of gas,
the economy, politics.
the stock market.
he shrugs, it's tough now.
so here, he says, handing
me a pen.
we have a green
used car, a hybrid, sitting
out back.
we're putting a fresh coat
of paint on it,
and tires,
just for you.
